Seating begins at 11:30.

Cloe v. City of Indianapolis No. 12-1713

Plaintiff-appellant Cloe contends the district court erred by granting summary judgment for her employer,
the City of Indianapolis, on her Americans with Disabilities Act claims for (a) failing to accommodate
disabilities resulting from multiple sclerosis, and (b) discriminating and retaliating against her in
terminating her employment.

Jordans v. Binns & US Xpress No. 11-2134

Plaintiff-appellant Jordan was severely injured when her motorcycle collided with a semi operated by
defendant Binns for his employer. A jury found the defendants not liable for the accident. Plaintiff
seeks a new trial, arguing that the trial court erroneously admitted hearsay evidence from statements
made at the scene of the accident and in an insurance investigation report.

U.S. v. Westmoreland No. 10, 3961

Defendant-appellant Westmoreland was convicted on drug, murder, and conspiracy charges. He contends the
trial court erred by denying his motion for a new trial based on new evidence that a government agent
had an affair with his wife during the investigation, by waiting eight years to deny the motion for a
new trial, and by refusing to appoint counsel to assist him.
